A copy of the 2020 Year End Revenue/Expense Comparison Report is enclosed for review. The overall net loss for the Recreation Department in 2020 was $1 ,100,000. SPRING FREESTYLE SESSION: With guidelines and capacities changing, the Recreation Department is looking to resume more programming at the ice rink this spring; including a modified Freestyle skating session. The Recreation Department has received emails from four parents looking to re- instate this program as soon as possible. The Freestyle skating program is for experienced skaters that come with their own coaches to practice their skills. The Recreation Department is proposing to provide a Saturday morning session for nine weeks, 10:00am — 11 :00am and a Tuesday evening session, 5:OOpm — 6:OOpm. In order to cover the ice cost of $4,050 per session, fifteen skaters paying $270/session would be required to break even. After a brief discussion, the Commission would like to offer this program with the hope that it builds itself back up. In order to help, the Commission is willing to subsidize this program at a cost of$1 ,000/session for this year only. A minimum of eleven skaters will be required for each session if it is to proceed. On a motion by Chairman Druker, all in favor. HOMMOCKS POOL 2021: Ms. Jennifer Pollak, Aquatic Director presented to the Commission a few different options to accommodate all user groups interested in accessing the pool for the summer pool season: • Swim Team, Camps and the Public • Swim Team & the Public (no Camps) • Camps & the Public (no Swim Team) Last summer, the pool was open to residents with reduced capacity limits, reservation requirements, and a pay per use fee of$5.00. There were no summer camps or a swim team being offered. Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes March 9, 2021 — Page 3 HOMMOCKS POOL 2021 CONTINUED: Ms. Vicky Laoutaris, Recreation Supervisor recommended to not have Hommocks Camp use the pool this summer. She feels for the short amount of time the kids would have at the pool, that the camp staff could actually provide better alternative program options. Co-Op Camp is looking for space in the pool and would be interested in additional time if other camps are not going to use it. The Village of Larchmont and the Village of Mamaroneck have expressed that they are not planning on using the pool this summer, due to many restrictions. Ms. Pollak also suggested that the swim team start an hour earlier at 8.00 am if this helps with the scheduling. The Hommocks Pool fees and Resident/Non Resident policies will be reviewed and presented for approved at the April Commission Meeting. HOMMOCKS CAMP AND PRESCHOOL CAMP: Ms. Vicky Laoutaris, Recreation Supervisor presented camp recommendations to the Commission. Ms. Laoutaris has informed the Commission that this year due to the restrictions placed on camp capacities, that the facility at the Monroe site can only accommodate (40) campers. Therefore, Camp Monroe and Camp Rockingstone will merge for this summer into one preschool aged camp to be held at Central School. The camp hours will be extending by an additional hour and operate 9.15 am — 2.15 pm. This year, Hommocks Camp will not be offering a Breakfast Club or Extended Day option due to the COVID-19 protocols in place by the Health Department. Campers will be placed in pods of (15) and campers will stay in that pod for the camp day. In order to try and accommodate all those campers wishing to attend camp this summer, the Hommocks Camp will offer (2) three-week camp sessions with a maximum of (250) campers per session. By reducing our enrollment numbers we will be able to accommodate all campers inside during inclement weather, and allow for the required social distance spacing between pods. Many other municipal camps are opting to hold camp outside with their normal enrollment numbers but will cancel camp during inclement weather. However, since we have the ice rink facility, we prefer to make the commitment to hold camp every day. We will be prepared to make adjustments as needed, if restrictions ease up prior to camp. The Recreation Department will also be offering additional sports and Snapology programs for alternative options during the six weeks of camp. 2021 SPRING/SUMMER PERMIT AND PROGRAM FEES: On a motion by Chairman Druker, seconded by Commissioner Plansky, the following fees were approved.
